Its astounding to me that people will outright refuse to live somewhere where people have differing political opinions to them. I'm not sure there is any coming back from this level of tribalism, and if so, our society is fucked.
2. There are lots of conservatives who don’t hold those opinions.
3. I’m not expecting you to respect those opinions and never said I did. I’m saying it’s ridiculous to refuse to even coexist with people who have different views than yourself.
4. You could help in shaping the realities of said “ignorant morons”, but instead you choose to live in your own political bubble, which, I hate to break to you, is largely comprised of its own flavor of ignorant morons.
I personally am very liberal, but I live in a conservative area and as a result understand that these hated “others” you live in fear of are good, reasonable people, and whatever extreme political opinions they may have is almost always due to the same self-imposed intellectual and cultural isolation you have chosen to impose on you and your family.
So thank you for your small mindedness and your contribution to the death spiral of empathy and discourse in our modern society.
Seriously the narrow world view of some people is staggering. You're being no better than the racists you claim to fight by prejudicing an ENTIRE group of people. Please just talk to someone with a different point of view. If they are coming from a hateful place you absolutely condemn it, but you don't prejudice the entire group. There are communists/socialists in the Democratic party, but I don't think that means ALL democrats are socialist/communist. There's quite a lot of hypocrisy in your comment.
